I am a 36yr old single mother of 3, my kiddies are 15, 14 and 9, most days they drive me totally insane!!!(especially today...) I scrapbook to save my sanity - not too sure if it's working but I am sooo enjoying the process of trying LOL

sorry I have been singing this annoying song all afternoon... I have finally pulled this layout apart in the hope of getting rid of Tasha's awful Medusa Hairdo that all this handcutting gave her!

Well all I really achieved was a new luv... hehe

yep I have a new best friend

this stuff called Un-Do - OMG it's like liquid magic... you just pour this stuff on then using the scoopy thing it comes with you can remove ANYTHING from your page... I am absolutely stunned at how cool this stuff is

mind you it doesn't remove pritt power gel, nothing will remove that stuff!

Without this Un-Do stuff there is no way I would have been able to rearrange this page

so.. here is the finished page

I am not quite happy with it, but that'sprobably just me being fussy, its just that what i had in mind hasn't quite come out on paper - gosh that's the story of my life! LOL

I do luv the lighter background though, it has really popped the photo out more

I lowered the title too, much better....

the page is well over an inch thick with some areas up to 6 layers high all separated by 3d foam

and the pink ribbon dinner challenge at TBSS was to create a layout using only pinkwith cardstock, 1 pic, 2 pp, 3 ribbons, 10 buttons, 15 rhinestones, 2 flowers, stamping & journalingthats it for me today, bye y'all... back tomorow with another updateAND a sneak peak at some new digi elements I been playing with

HUH I fooled ya...

you all thought I forgot about my daily posts yesterday didn't ya?

well I didn't forget, I was in here, fiddling around with a few things

just forgot to speak outside of my head

I do that often... so if ya really wanna know the full story, you gotta be inside my head with all these voices... they argue and carry on so much some days I just roll my eyes, sit back and listen to em all yabber on - quite a good laugh!

that was me yesterday, and while they were all chattering I was tinkering in photoshop

played with some new elements, even tried my hand at creating a few - that was fun!

and have you noticed anything different with the header pic up there?

yeah come on, how much attention did you really pay to it, can you tell whats changed?

Today will just be a quick one, I have my day planned to scrap - I raced around like a madwoman to get all the housework done before I took the kids to school so I could enjoy the peace n quiet for the day, well, that was my plan till my Mojo ran away

cant find the little bugger

I have sat here at this table for an hour now and done NOTHING...

no ideas, no inspiration NOTHING

I do wanna play with the basic grey cutouts I did the other day, but dont know what photo to use - come back Mojo, this is boring hangin out without you

I did a little more handcutting last night to go with them eva things so might play with them too

oh come back MOJO...

I WANNA SCRAP

I did this layout for the photoswap at TBSS with Kath

I really hope you like it Chloe, you are so very beautiful in this photo

yeah a little handcutting ... LOL

mounted on 3d foam with a touch of kindy glitz

I am so addicted to handcutting at the moment that I set this weeks weekly challenge at TBSS to guess what? yep handcutting.. hehhehe

so this layout also doubles for the weekly challenge

now thats what I call multitasking

Ok, I am gonna go for a quick trip to the shop, grab some chocolate and hopefully by the time I get back my Mojo has returned and I can get some scrapping done today
